It's Here!

Yeah! The new fridge is here and installed and containing and chilling food as we speak, er, type.

The guys arrived at about 8:30 and after measuring the doorways, they said that the doorway into the kitchen would have to be taken down and they would come back tomorrow to deliver the fridge. Um, I don't think so! I asked them if they could make their next delivery and then come back. They said they would be back in about 15 minutes and if the moulding and jam were down, they would deliver it, if not, they would be back tomorrow.

So I got busy -- ripping out the moulding and the jam (the jam was tricky because I had to find a cutting tool (found an old jig saw) to cut it in half on the header and then the rest came out more easily. I got it down and all set for them. They arrived back a little while later (I really don't think that they were expecting me to be able to take it down).

Finally, in came the fridge. Whee! Let me tell you - it is huge! The freezer is amazingly big. I put all the stuff that was in our old fridge - I mean, stuffed into our old fridge and it was maybe 1/5 full. :)

I'm actually thinking that we might want to move the fridge to where the dishwasher is and then slide the stove and (future) cabinet down a bit and the dishwasher will go where the fridge currently is. Because is is so big, if we moved it down the line, it would make it flow with the rest of the kitchen a little better.

This means that this week, I will be working on ripping out the remaining upper cabinets moving out the stove and dishwasher, priming and painting the wall and finish the remaining new flooring under those appliances. Then it will be all ready for my bil (who comes to town next week) to help us with the plumbing changes that will be needed.
